I recently installed a X3ce mod chip into a v1.6b xbox.
The installation went ok.

I accidently used the non 1.6 3294 bios and flashed to bank 3456. (I have both on disk from a previous install)

Being v1.6b xbox flashBios 3.01 wont work. So I cant use bank 1234 or the backup flashBios.

Is there a way to reflash without a programer ??? or is the chip only good for v1.0 to v1.5 installs now ?????

Any help is greatly appreiciated.

I just answered my own question.
You have to put the chip on a pre-1.6b and boot it, flash it with a 1.6b compatible version and put it back into the 1.6b machine.

Luckily I had a pre v1.6b xbox to do it with.
